A COMPRESSOR SIMULATION MODEL WITH CORRECTIONS FOR THE LEVEL OF SUCTION GAS SUPERHEAT.

Author(s) : DABIRI A. E., RICE C. K.

Summary

THE COMPRESSOR MODEL IS PART OF A HEAT PUMP SIMULATION MODEL BEING DEVELOPED FOR POTENTIAL USE IN REDUCING THE AMOUNT OF TESTING REQUIRED FOR AIR-TO-AIR HEAT PUMPS. CORRECTIONS TO THE COMPRESSOR PERFORMANCE CURVES ARE DEVELOPED WHICH ACCOUNT FOR THE EFFECT OF DIFFERENT SUPERHEAT LEVELS ON REFRIGERANT MASS FLOW RATE AND COMPRESSOR POWER ; THE CORRECTIONS ARE IN GENERAL AGREEMENT WITH THE INFORMATION FROM MANUFACTURERS OF REFRIGERANT 22, HERMETIC, RECIPROCATING COMPRESSORS. COMPARISONS MADE BETWEEN THE COMPRESSOR MODEL PREDICTIONS AND AVAILABLE DATA INDICATE THAT MORE EXPERIMENTAL DATA ARE NEEDED AT LOW AMBIENT CONDITIONS IN THE HEATING MODE AND FOR CONDITIONS OF WET REFRIGERANT AT THE COMPRESSOR INLET.
